The Oetker Collection is slated to debut in Africa next month with the opening of Palais Namaskar in Marrakech.
Set amid more than 538,000 sq ft (50,000 sq m) of Balinese-inspired gardens complemented by waterfalls and lakes, Palais Namaskar is nestled between the Atlas Mountains and the Djebilet Hills. French-Algerian designer Imaad Rahmouni and owner and creator Philippe Soulier used Feng Shui principles to blend Oriental and contemporary influences with subtle Moorish and Andalusian touches in the architecture and interior design.
Most of the property’s 41 guestrooms feature fireplaces, terraces, outdoor Jacuzzis and heated pools.
F&B outlets include Le Namaskar Restaurant, overlooking gardens and the pool; the Panoramic Bar, for drinks and snacks; and the Tea Lounge, Espace T, adorned by a custom-made Murano chandelier.
Palais Namaskar’s spa has two double treatment rooms with private hammam and four individual cabins with private outdoor terraces. Treatments, by Guerlain and Ila, focus on both physical and spiritual healing.
The hotel also offers its own private jet with interiors reflecting the design of Palais Namaskar.
